About

In 2013/15/17 we presented Domestic works in tower blocks in transition — little did we know then, that in 2020 our homes would become our only stages and only auditoria…

And so we began a series of “Domestic at homes”, with artists trying out new works about what was on their minds — using whatever resources they had to hand.

Join us on 10 March for our fifth set of “artists at home” — selected from our rolling open call for proposals. Real lives, real stories, real homes.

Programme

Eleanor May Blackburn · Wired
 “Wow, I’m having the best time. I’m having the best time. I AM having the best time.“
 Eleanor explores the ins and outs of a night out, and how mental health is often an unwanted passenger along for the ride.

Pelican Theatre · A/Liveness
 A glimpse into the private frustrations & fantasies of performers who’ve lost their audiences…
 What happens to us when nobody’s watching? Are we still Live? Are we still Alive?
 Created + performed by Pagan Hunt + Ellie Trow
 Music: Seeing Abi by Stephen McKeon

Tom Cassani · With My Hands
 Tom is interested in thinking with his hands.
 Tom has spent fifteen years with a deck of cards in his palms (or at least nearby).
 His performance explores this long-standing relationship through both procedural and contemplative text and action.

TomYumSim · Hotline LIVE
 Has lockdown got you down?
 Are you finding your domestic decisions difficult and droll?
 Call Hotline LIVE and speak to Tommy or Simmy about your domestic dilemmas — put some magic in your mundane and wash away your household woes. (Alternatively, watch calls unfold as Hotline pops up on the Domestic live stream.)
 Hotline is proudly queer, DIY in aesthetic, and improvised in nature.
 Created + performed by Tom Halls + Simone French

Vân Bùi · Favourite Colours
 Music: Sac Mau performed by Tran Thu Ha + composed by Tran Tien
 Special thank you to Resource Productions (@ResourceProds) for providing equipment.

Hosted by Peader Kirk.
